CCNP Enterprise
Cisco's enterprise professional track
CCNP Enterprise is the standard Cisco counterpart for enterprise routing and switching at the professional level, adding infrastructure services, security, virtualization, and automation.
Who it suits
Enterprise network engineers deciding between the Cisco and Juniper professional tracks, especially those at employers with Cisco-heavy campuses. It suits people who want broader enterprise scope than protocol depth alone.
Key differences
- It covers architecture, assurance, virtualization, and automation along with routing and switching, whereas the Juniper exam emphasizes IGPs, BGP, multicast, and Ethernet switching.
- It combines a core exam with a chosen concentration, letting you tailor the credential to your focus area.
- It is aligned with Cisco's enterprise platforms and is the more common requirement in Cisco-standardized organizations.
